Juicy Stroller Lust



Today Mommy Chick and I went to Macro Baby.  We decided to buy an Ergo carrier.  Because I am Super Model Tall now, I'm having trouble visiting the boobie buffet in my current sling.  Several fab mommies recommended the Ergo, so we'll give it a whirl and report back to you.  We opted for chocolate brown to bring out my eyes.  An added bonus is that our dog who sheds the most is brown, so maybe his fur can be incognito on this carrier.


Have I ever told you how much MC and I hate our stroller, uh, "travel system," I mean?  I have learned so many colorful words listening to MC load and unload it from the car.  Sometimes we leave the stroller on the porch after our walks, but so far, no one has taken the bait and stolen it.

I will give you a hint who makes our travel system:  It starts with "p" and ends with "eg perego."

Since I am big enough to sit in a smaller stroller, we are looking at options.  MC almost spewed her Starbucks when she feasted her eyes upon this beauty:



It is a Maclaren Baby Juicy stroller!  Supposedly, I could chill in it until I reach 55 pounds.  Here's the catch.  It's $450.  I'm thinking that might be a hard sell to Daddy Dude, especially since he wants to use our strollers for my future siblings.  He hopes I have a brother someday, but MC and I want a girl named Harlow, so really, we can't afford not to get this stroller.

We owe it to Harlow.

  2. You should get a BOB - they are not cute, but they are so easy to load/unload and they are so smooth. I love mine. I've also heard great things about the Uppa Baby stroller. Both sell for around $450.

  8. I LOVE my BOB stroller too (would'nt trade it for anything) BUT the optional cup holder sort of sucks (lol) so if a cupholder worthy of a venti Starbucks is what you're after, you may have to go and physically look at several strollers. I don't think the MacLaren is good for holding coffee either.

  9. Also meant to say that I have an Ergo for my little guy and I absolutely love it! I wear him on my back now that he's older. It was invented by a Chiropractor ya know (wink wink!). Try and guess who I am??

  10. Hmmm...didn't know the Ergo was invented by a chiro! Our chiro seemed to think it looked spine friendly. I'm not good at guessing. I am only four months old and that part of my brain has not yet developed.
